8800SKL / 8500SKL Instructions

DISASSEMBLY

Remove clutch from hub by removing the 6 allen bolts. Line the access holes up with the allen bolts to remove the bolts. Apply air pressure to the clutch so the access holes can be aligned with the allen bolts. Once aligned, remove air pressure and the clutch will lock-up.

The clutch will need to be compressed before any removing and installing any parts.

To compress the clutch use 2 - 3/8”x3” bolts with a large flat washer over the access holes. Place the bolts opposite of each other and compress the clutch evenly. (see picture) Do not over compress.

Remove the Cylinder Cap by removing the 5/16” Locknut, hold the Piston Rod Assembly (on the lining side) with a 5/8” open end wrench to loosen. Under the Cylinder Cap is the Seal Washer. Remove it.

Remove the Dust Seal. (If the dust seal is blue, also remove the o-ring underneath it.)

Remove the U-Packing Seal. (Make a note of how the U-Packing Seal was installed, the “U” is facing up as the clutch is placed, lining down).

Remove the Coupling and the O-ring

Remove the 3 retaining plates by removing the 6 lining screws.

If the lining is free, remove it. If the lining is frozen, the clutch will need to be compressed a little more.
